Back in February I visited Stourhead and did a behind closed doors tour, however the house’s state rooms weren’t open, since I had always planned a repeat visit to see these rooms.
After visiting King Alfred’s Tower I headed off to Stourhead. I parked the car and set it to charge. I then had lunch and had a disappointing ploughman’s lunch.
I went around the house twice. Lots of impressive paintings as well as incredible rooms. I am glad I made the effort to make a return visit.
Stourhead
One of the first grand Palladian-style villas to be built in England, with a carriage entrance leading to the piano nobile, or main floor. World-famous landscape garden with a lake set among lawns and classical temples, surrounded by trees and with sweeping views.

When the weather is better I might make a return visit to walk around the grounds and the lake.
